I never received an installation disk with my iMac. I do require one now. How do I get it?
Hello everyone,
My wife and I purchased an iMac about 1,5 years ago. Perhaps 2. And everything worked perfectly. We even got the iPad 3 to go with and next month an iphone 5.
However, since a few weeks my mail didn't respond anymore. Did not open, didn't do anything anymore. I found a solution and had it working again.
NOW, it's jPhoto that is not responding anymore. Though only on MY account. We have two accounts on the system, but with my wife it is working. Just not on mine.
I have found Disk Utilities and did a permissions repair. Which worked. I think... But then the disk repair does not. I can verify the disk but not repair it. It requires a reboot from the Mac OS X installation disk.
I never received one. Was I supposed to get one with my iMac? Or should I make one? Can I still make one with the problems I am having? Or am I copying the problems to that disk?
Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks,
The Demacker Family.
PS: We did update to iOS 10.6 a while ago.
In the meantime, if you really are on 10.6, you can try and repair the drive by using these options, both explained here. Safe Boot and fsck from single user mode.

Can't Zap the P-RAM , Can't start from an installer disk with the C-Key...
Can't Zap the P-RAM , Can't start from an installer disk with the C-Key... or The D-Key for Apple Hardware test or run with the shift Key in Safe Mode!!!
About a week ago I started to have problems with the Mac after 10.5.6! First the Mac after shut down would restart on its own in 10 to 15 minutes. I read in various forums about some of the 10.5.6 problems. I did a clean reinstall where the Mac created a previous system folder. After this suddenly mail, I-Chat as well as some other programs would open, then close immediately! Since I did not have things backed up because I didn't have a large drive, I dragged my files and apps to another drive and reformatted the drive zeroing out all data and did a fresh new install then brought in the combo 10.5.6 update.The Mac is running correctly but I can't Zap the P-Ram, startup from the Mac OS X installer Dvd with the C key or run Apple Hardware Test with the D key or boot in safe mode with the shift key. I can boot any of the Bootable disks from the start-up Disk in Preferences.
I went over this with Apple and they suggested I run the Apple Hardware test. It won't run on this machine because I can't boot it with the D- Key. I ran tech Tools and every single thing checks out OK! This Mac has worked great since I got it in I believe Feb or March of 2007.Make sure that you don't have firmware password protection enabled. It will prevent some boot key shortcuts from working, like clearing NVRAM, etc. You can disable firmware password protection by booting off the OSX DVD and loading the utility.

How can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it?
how can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it? It came without DVD installer, and I want to make a copy of it's OS installer but can't find out how.
You need to have the disc in order to create disk image of snow leopard installer disc. What did your machine ship with? If something later than SL, then why? If earlier, then you can buy the SL installer disc and make the disk image.

I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do? How can I get the data off this disc? I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?
Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive. Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth) around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.

backed up my old i-phone 3 to my computer. tried to sync new i-phone 4S to computer to restore info. It is asking for a password. I never assigned one. How do I get to my info????
iTunes will recognize your new phone as a different device from your old phone. Do you have any information on your new phone that you want to save? Restoring to the backup of your old phone will overwrite your data and settings with those of your old phone. If you want to save any data on your new phone, you'll need to do this first. After doing so, connect it to iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Restore from Backup, when prompted, selecte the backup of your old phone to restore from.

I'm trying to update my daughter's Ipad2 to the new IOS 8 and it's got stuck on the connect to ITunes display. We don't have a computer to connect it to and it's never been connected to one. How do I get past this?
You can try a soft-reset of pressing and holding both the home and sleep buttons for 10 to 15 seconds so that it reboots, but you are likely to get the same screen. If it does then it will need to be connected to a computer's iTunes so that it can be reset back to factory defaults - do you have a friend with a computer with iTunes installed on it, or is there an Apple store nearby that you could try going to (if there is then preferably make a Genius Bar appointment at it, or don't go at a busy time) ?
Has she been backing up to the cloud ? If she has then she should be able to restore to that. If not then what she can redownload for free from the stores will show in the Purchased tabs in the store apps. -
I am not able to update my apps because every time I am doing this, it is asking for a password which I have never used and the person who used it is in no more contact. how can i get my id instead of his??
Apps can only be updated using the same Apple ID and password they were originally purchased with.

Bridge wont recognizw my Nikon d610. I am running windows 8 and photoshop cs6 with 8.6 camera raw plug in. How can I get bridge to recognize my camera? Thanks!!
That camera model has been supported since ACR 8.3 and it is most certainly supported by ACR 8.6 and ACR 8.7 (beta).
Either you have damaged, corrupt image files, or a faulty Photoshop and/or ACR installation.
If there are no privacy issues, you can post one of your files to the FTP service of your choice (such as Dropbox or yousendit.com), post the link to it, and someone here can take a look at it for you. -
I won Lightroom 1.0 as a door prize a few years ago at an Adobe clinic in Fremont. I have since misplaced the original disk and cannot get the program to open. It wants a serial number and I don't have one. How can I get the serial number so I can use the software?
Thanks for replying, Jim. I wasn't planning to use it for raw images. I shoot film, black and white, and have many negatives I want to print. I am unfamiliar with the upgrades in Lightroom. I wasn't unhappy with the version I have. It was useful for my purposes.
Because it was a few years ago, I don't remember if I registered the product. I was able to login to my account. But could not find a path to communicate with Adobe. I will keep trying.

I recently had to get a new computer.It required me going from windows xp to 7 I am trying to put it one the new computer but I get following message Windows installer could not be accessed could be in safe mode.How do I get around it? need it to charge my ipod on my computer.
I have used PCs for years, and still do at work. But, last year my wife bought me a 15" MBP with the anti-glare screen (I was getting ready to buy for myself). It took me all of 1 week to completely get used to the UI for OS-X, and now I really prefer it over the Win7 UI. I have no experience with Win8. Here are my thoughts:
1) You can get a good computer using either a Win8 machine or a Mac.
2) You will pay less for an equivalent PC. But not as much less as some would have you believe. You need to take into account the all aluminum body of the Mac (vs most PCs being plastic) and the size of the display. And, don't forget that there is a lot of bundled SW on the Mac that you will actually find useful and would have to purchase for the PC.
3) You can probably do everything you need on the PC platform with the right SW (you probably already know this since you are using one already).
That said, I think some things are easier on the Mac. For example, GarageBand is a standard part of the Mac SW installation. I got up and running recording directly from my bass into a track with a song imported from iTunes on another track in a snap. I only had to purchase a Jam adapter ($99) for the bass so I could come in over USB instead of using the audio in port (which did work, by the way). You can do the same on a PC, but you have to purchase the SW from somewhere. And, it probably isn't cheap.
I use VMware Fusion to run those Win programs I already owned because it was much less expensive to buy Fusion than to replace them.
I would not return to a PC for my own use, given a choice. But, I would be very careful about getting my wife a Mac without careful thought as she is not as tolerant of learning new things as I am.
So, there you go. -
